The significance of the study lies in the fact that, amid the rapid advancements in higher education, teaching performance competencies have become a crucial factor in managing the educational process within the classroom and enhancing interaction. The importance of the TPACK model stems from its support of recent changes in education, as it highlights the role of technology in modern times. However, the model goes beyond focusing solely on technology by emphasizing the integration of different types of knowledge to improve the quality of education.
The researcher concluded that instructors’ possession of pedagogical knowledge enables them to use appropriate strategies that maintain classroom order, anticipate and avoid challenges, and inspire students by linking course content to real-life experiences. Furthermore, their technological knowledge allows them to employ various educational tools that help capture students’ attention, such as interactive presentations, while also reducing distractions.
The study aimed to explore the teaching performance competencies and classroom management skills possessed by postgraduate instructors and to understand the role of these competencies in classroom management from the students’ point of view.
